Entree or breakfast/brunch, you decide with the ingredients!

Ingredients

1 lb. Ground beef (or see notes)

Shredded colby-jack cheese

1 can Refrigerated crescent rolls

1 package Taco seasoning

See note for more ideas

Preparation

Preheat oven to specified temperature on crescent rolls package. Spread crescent rolls into a deep dish pie plate, letting some hang over the sides. Brown ground beef and drain, season with taco seasoning. Sprinkle cheese into pan, top with beef, sprinkle more cheese. Cover the beef and cheese with the rest of crescent rolls, pinch together. It should all be covered. Bake about the same amount of time it states for crescent rolls on package, or until the crust is done and starting to brown. Serve with sour cream, salsa, or any other taco extras!

Cook's Notes

I've used this as a brunch/breakfast food by using sausage, cheese, scrambled eggs & potatoes. Another favorite is to make it with chicken breast cut into pieces and seasoned w/taco seasoning or chicken taco seasoning when browning & cooking then use the cheese and also add a can of black beans. Yumm!

My whole family loved it! I did do a few changes. Since we have a larger family I doubled the crescent rolls and did it in a 9 X 13 casserole dish. I used 1 lb. ground turkey with the taco seasoning. The dish was fabulous and my kids LOVED it!
